1994 Gibson RB250. Kulesh tone ring. Comes with hard shell case.
I purchased this around 1999 from Elderly, and it's been a wonderful and awesome-sounding banjo, especially when I was in a bluegrass band. I have evolved into an old-time, open-back player, and therefore have decided to sell this one.
It could be polished up, and would look new, if desired. The photos show there is some normal fret wear on the lower frets, but it's not necessary to re-fret yet. There are no buzzes, and the tone and action is great all the way up the neck. I always kept it out of the heat, and it spent most of the time in the air conditioning in my home, while I used my lighter weight banjos for gigs. Has 5th string railroad spikes at the 7th, 9th, and 11th frets.
Perfect banjo for the traditional bluegrass sound!
